425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE ---> The latest issue (February 2011) is now available
for download at www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. [TNX IZ3EBA]
JAPAN EMERGENCY TRAFFIC ---> Due to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami
disaster, it is recommended/suggested to please stay clear of the following
emergency frequencies: 3520-3530, 7025-7035, 14090-14110, 21190- 21210,
28190-28210, 50100 and 51000 kHz, as well as 144.100, 145.000, 145.500,
430.100, 433.000 and 433.500 MHz. It is also suggested to stay away from
the IARU Region 3 Emergency Centre of Activity frequencies (3600, 7110,
14300, 18160 and 21360 kHz).
MONK APOLLO PROJECT ---> Rick, NE8Z has been issued a "pilgrim visa" to
enter Mt. Athos and will be visiting Monk Apollo (SV2ASP/A) on 9-16 April.
"I will be taking him radio equipment accessories to compliment his present
ham radio station", Rick says, "Monk Apollo has shown the desire to operate
from portable locations in Mt. Athos so that he can work Asia which is
partially blocked by a mountain behind his Monastery". The Southeast
Michigan DX Association has adopted the project of helping Monk Apollo to
improve his permanent and portable stations. Details on the project and a
PayPal link for donations can be found at http://live.semdxa.org/ (click
the "Monk Apollo Project" button). [TNX NE8Z]
PIRATE ---> Do not waste your time on working HS0ZDZ. "The last entry in
his log that I have is 31 July 2004", his QSL manager (GM4FDM) says. Three
months later the genuine Ray Gerrard, HS0ZDZ (G3NOM) suffered a serious
stroke and is no longer active. GM4FDM is "slowly putting Ray's logs onto
LoTW. HS0ZDZ and HS0/G3NOM are already there".

or recent 8P6QL operation. The Colvins (Lloyd, W6KG and Iris, W6QL) used

operation, but nothing since. [TNX N7NG]
